Find out how to make EASY Christmas bows on your vacation decor!

Easy directions to make fluffy DIY bows, from small to massive, on your
Christmas decorations. 

I looked for “straightforward Christmas DIY bows” a couple of years in the past and tried not less than
three variations (that appeared extremely straightforward). 

Every time I ended up with a multitude of ribbon that appeared NOTHING like what they
confirmed. 

I lastly discovered a easy bow that ended up trying fairly cute, so I needed to
share the simple steps!

You solely want two issues for this fast tutorial — wired ribbon
(I feel I had 30 yards) and wire of some sort. You should utilize wire, floral wire,
pipe cleaners…something like that can work. 

1. Minimize your ribbon to lengthy lengths

First up, minimize one lengthy piece of ribbon at round 5 toes (I ended up making
them a bit longer, round 65 inches) and a shorter piece at two toes. 

Then place the lengthy one on a floor like so:

I needed to examine the picture as I did this as a result of I stored doing it backwards. You
simply lay it flat after which pull one aspect over, then the opposite. 

You could need to widen that half on the prime as you go, that would be the again
a part of the bow.

2. Make your ribbon loops

Seize that piece and flip it over so the strong aspect is within the entrance. Lay it on
prime of the longer piece: 

I did not present it nicely right here, however you need that piece to be rather less vast
than the one already on the bottom. 

You then simply sort of scrunch all of it up into one half — seize the 2 from
the underside within the center all the way in which as much as the highest piece. 

Don’t fret about making it excellent: 

You’ll be able to regulate the bow as you do that if wanted:

Your lovely bow is nearly full! 

3. Time to cover the wire. 

I had leftover ribbon from adorning the tree so I simply minimize small items of
ribbon and wrapped them across the wire within the center. 

Then I used a chunk of floral wire I already had on there to safe that half
on the again too: 

Scorching glue would work too! However this methodology retains the variety of essential “instruments”
down. 😉 When you’ve got loads of ribbon you possibly can simply tie that half. 

Mess around with it — I used a plaid accent right here, however ribbon with sparkles
would look cute, or perhaps a contrasting colour. 

While you’re accomplished you possibly can costume up the ends of the ribbon by folding them in
half after which slicing with a pair of scissors like so:

This offers the tails of the bow that the wrong way up “V” form on the ends. Fluff
as wanted after which hold! 

These giant bows went into our stair garland: 

This stair garland was so easy and basic with the lights and bows!:

The added smaller layer on prime makes these a bit of extra “poofy” and
dimensional, however it’s not wanted. 

I made the cutest little bows for my workplace tree through the use of this methodology, however
skipping the added bow on prime: 

I wrapped the middle with a smaller burgundy wired ribbon. 

The wired ribbon is vital to creating these bows full and fairly!

They are often tucked into the tree fairly simply, however I ran the top of an
decoration hook by way of the ribbon on the again so I may hold them: 

These DIY bows can be utilized so many locations!

• Make a large bow tree topper for the Christmas tree.
• Add them to your vacation wreaths.
• Use smaller sections to make a bunch of Christmas tree bows in
  completely different sizes to fill empty spots.
• Make smaller variations of those easy bows on your Christmas presents.
• Use for out of doors adorning on the mailbox or fence posts. (I might use
  outdoor ribbon
  for this.)

I feel they’re such a fairly, conventional contact. Really easy and easy —
simply be sure you have loads of ribbon!

Have you ever made these BIG bows or do you’ve a special approach of doing
it?
